Our read on Gill Odd Fellows Home Of Vermont

Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow runs on a non-profit model with 46 beds, and its staff retention is the standout number here: 20.5% turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability matters more than it sounds, because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Inspections in February 2026 turned up 24 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The recent four-star inspection and quality ratings reflect a home that's generally steady, with room to tighten weekend staffing.
